In this companion piece to his new single “Lovestar”, Common and an all female panel explore and expound upon the notion of Black Love and the Black Women at the heart of that connection. Premiered today via Essence, Common explains that the short film and single are his way of paying the homage he feels is long overdue: “So, the theme, Love Star, came up just because I thought it was a cool nickname to call somebody that you’re close to. You know how people say, ‘oh, that’s my bae’ or my ‘boo’ or ‘my girl,’ like we used to say. Love Star is like a beautiful way of describing somebody important in your life that you care about.”
